STROKERS AND STIFFS
A STROKER is a player who commonly makes a bet or combination of bets that require a lot of work by the dealer(s). Usually, in this process, the STROKER, sustains a visible degree of disrespect and general lack of knowledge for the acrobatics that the dealer must make in order to service the STROKER wagering requirements. And many times the STROKER will STIFF the dealer(s). A STIFF is a player who either does not tip the dealers after a most visible WIN or who builds a reputation as a regular customer for not tipping the dealer(s). Dealers love to WHACK Strokers and Stiffs. You can learn a lot about how dealers feel about players in our Craps Dictionary.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TABLE LAYOUT
How much do you know about the table layout and its effect on your bets? Do you know the difference between a "FOR" table and a "TO" table? Do you know that the table layouts are different in NORTHERN and SOUTHERN Nevada? Are you aware that some tables do not have a CORNER 6 or 8? Do you know how to read and UNDERSTAND the posted TABLE ODDS sign and UNDERSTAND the posted MINIMUMS and MAXIMUMS? Do you know that the FIELD pays 2X on the 12 instead of 3X on some tables? How about the so called 25 cent (BIRD) game that still requires a 50 cent minimum on the Pass Line... do you know WHY? What is the difference between STRIP ODDS and DOWNTOWN ODDS? The ANSWERS to these and other mysteries of Craps can save you money and maximize your BANK, and are available at NextShooter.com.
